Mr. EDITOR: Please allow me a
space in your columns to give the
brevities OF our town. The rain
has stopped for the last six days.
There has been only one death last
week, Bro. l.. G.. Jordan lost his
baby, it had been sick sometime.
We organized an Educational Asso'
citation here in January for the pnr-
pose OF fostering education in our
town; though it has met great
many opposers and enemies-lt has
survived, and has closed the private
term and commenced the public
term. This is u creditable school,
and deserves the assistance of all.
The name of the Institute IS the
Searles' Institute. The Searles' In.
,titute will run an excursion + ON
Savannah September 10, to Back
shear for their benefit and it is
hoped that every friend of educa-
tioD in the city will avail them
selves of this opportunity and go, "s
it will be of great benefit to the
Association and poor children.
Mrs. j. W. Searies has been in
disposed for week but she ia con-
vaIescing again. The writer has
promises OF some more new sub
scribers for the Savannah TRIBUNE.
Yours,

THE SLAVERY BILL.

A. recent editorial in the Chicago Inter-
Ocean the abIest and most influential paper
in the West, concludes as follows.
whether, under the constitution
of the United States. the State of
Georgia has a right to send to the
chain gang the teacher of any col
ored school, either public or pri-
vate, for the crime of permitting
his own son to recite to himself
along with The other pupils in tn
school is question by itself. But
it will be as easy to dodge a stroke
of lightning as for the government
of the State of Georgia. if this in
famous measure should become a
law, to escape the condemnation
and scorn of the whole American
people. For the law, when the mo-
tive of it is unmarked, is seen to be
essentially and inefably mean and
cowardly, a gratuitous aud brutal
outrage against the rights of Amer.
lean citizens, spitefulness toward
our ''inferior" race which would be
indecent in lot of Apache Indians,
and withal a kind of response to the
munificent benevolences of North
ern people who haye done so much
to aid the State of Georgia in its
great educational task, which puts
dismal meaning on "our civiliza-
ton" as represented by this Geor-
gia Legislature.
But while the shame Of such &
coarse and cowardly and stupid
measure brands itself like a stigms
upon the brow Of that particular
State, it is not TO be overlooked
that it at the same time is some
thing which concerns American,
generally. The honor of the
American name and of the Ameri-
can civilization is matter to which
every patriot will be sensitive. Al
matter of National politics, from
the Southern point of view, it il
not easy to imagine a more stupiC
hlunder. The sham in the pretex
of it is transparent; the shame il
the motive Of it is ineffable, anC
will long remain to plague those
who have so heedlesSly exposed
themselves to the contempt of al
men with any sense of honor ant
fair play.

ON Monday night last a Mass
Meeting IF the colored citizens OF
Augusta was held in the City Hall
to take action looking to the aboli-
ton of "the hell" that is called the
Georgia convict system. The
meeting was presided over by P.
81. Craig, Esq. Strong speeches
were made by the chairman. Capt.
j. w. LYONS, J. G. Green and
others, denouncing in the most
nnmeasured terms the barbarous
and injurious system.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
AUGUSTA, Ca, Aug, s, '87
To The Honorable the Legislature of Georgia:
The following resolutions were unan
imously adopted and endorsed by the
undersigned citizens Of Richmond
county.
Whereas, According to the reports
of legislative committees and according
to investigations made by the leading
newspapers of Georgia, the present
convict system is inhuman and barbar-

more like beasts of burden than human
. beings and
Whereas, The present system allows

come 10 contact or competition with
free labor than does the system of any
other State in that the cOnvicts are
worked upon the dirt roads, railroads,
in the mines, upon farms and at almost
ANYTHING the convicts can do to make
money for the Iessees.
Be it resolved, That the Legis.
laturs of Georgia be and is hereby re.
specttuIIy urged to ab lish this internal
institution which has done mere than
all other agencies combined to blot the
name of Georgia before the civilized
world.
A strong protest was also adopted
against the use of convict labor tc
the detriment of honest wage work
ers in Richmond county, and the
city council asked to abate the evil
The speeches and resolutions have
the right ring to them and it is to
be hoped they will have the desired
effect on those in authority.

OUR HOME ARTISTS

AS usual, the fertility OF our soil and
growing properties of our climate, were
demonstrated by mammoth specimens
of potatoes, carrots, beets. cabbages,
squash, onions, etc., as well as num-
Der oI varieties of grain. Owing to a
late storm of frost and hail last spring,
our display of fruits was rather meagre.
LIVE STOCK, HORSES, CATTLE, POULTRY ETC.
The display of stock, horses and cat
tie, sirss and their product, showed a
wide departure from the times when
sires and dams were turned out on the
range, and colts and calves came by
chance. But evidently so marked and
appreciated is the change that no fears
are expressed OF return to the old
methods, as all seem in earnest to still
labor for improvement.
The notice given for the present fair
was short, so that the specimens exhib-
tied were selected from the regular pro-
ducts, no forcing process being possible.
The attendance was large, and
although the admission was nominal, 10
cents, yet quite sum was realized, to
be used for the purpose of ZONE i'm
provement. REPoRTER :.

derwear, hand wove and hand knit,
